sis 06-08-2013 06:04 PM
Just a thought .....
 
Would people be interested in actually doing 12 pieces of art work with the idea that the 12th set be sent to The Reunion for the Raffle???


Deb

nycfem 06-08-2013 06:30 PM

Darn! On vacation so missed the boat on this one! I hope ya'll do a 12th set for the BFP Reunion as I might have to buy raffle tickets from afar just to bid on them!


Katniss-come-lately....

nanners 06-08-2013 07:19 PM
I think that is a great idea sis! I love it!!! And I would even send extra for postage to mail all of them to where ever they need to go for the raffle.

candy_coated_bitch 06-08-2013 07:52 PM
I would definitely do a #12 so we can send a set to the reunion. I think that's a really fun idea!

deb0670 06-08-2013 08:21 PM
Darn! too late! *waits for the next project*

I'm sorry I had a private message that beat your post in.

Let's do a quick poll.
This is a small project, would others be willing to do a few more, 3 so Katniss, deb and pixie could join?

or should we do the 11 + 1 for the raffle and leave it at that.
Please weigh in, this seems to be a popular one.

sis 06-08-2013 09:57 PM
I'm open to doing more!

It's sweet of you to want to include us but I certainly understand that more than 12 may be onerous. If the original group decides not to include us 3 latecomers I am wondering if we could have a second group of 6-12 folks? I haven't done one of these before so not sure what protocol is on sign-up so it is just a thought. I'll happily acquiesce to the group's decision.


Katniss~~:eatinghersheybar:

nycfem 06-09-2013 06:03 AM
I'd be willing to do more (the people who expressed interest), but then we need a firm decision that it is closed. Also, please let us know if we will do the extra card for the Reunion.

nycfem 06-09-2013 08:08 AM
Okay, if we include everyone who has expressed interest, plus one for the Reunion we'd all make 15 cards and mail them to Laruss. Laruss does this sound good?

I think this is perfect. You can do them all the same or all different or some the same. They are cute and small.
So, each person makes 15.

Ok, but now we are officially closed. And yes now that it is more, I would appreciate $5, but would understand if you joined because it was only $2. Send what you can and I will get them all sent out.

I do miniature watercolours and I got the idea from the Artist Trading Cards.
I would like us to do Artist Trading Cards with at least 2 mediums, mixed media style. That can mean 2 different types of paint, or embellish it with stones, glass, cut outs, photos, markers. The possibilities are endless.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artist_trading_cards This is What Wiki says about the ATC's.

Here are some ideas. http://www.atcsforall.com/ there are no end of possibilities. You can search them out on the Internet or just make up your own.

They are 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" in size and you can buy them precut in every type of paper or you can cut your own.

If you are in please sign up and I will send you my address to send them to.

Deadline of July 11. You will only need to include $2 Now changed to $5(and American is fine) in your envelope as they won't be to bad to send out. Unless you add heavy items to your cards, in which case $5-$10 would be appreciated.

I am looking forward to everyone's creativity.

I will send everyone my address in PM.
Let's try really hard to hit our deadline so that we can get them out before the reunion. I know that is September, but you have to remember mailing times both ways.

Looking forward to it.

And I would still be interested in the letter for the future me project if someone was wrangling that. Or we can wait.
Can't wait to see the postcards from the last project.

:fireworks: laruss, this is WONDERFUL.
PS: we are used to a minimum of $5.oo;even as I have had to send it late because I get so excited to get it the mail late :blush:

AND, I will be more than THRILLED to accept the donation from the "Penpals, Scrapbookers, Postcard Artists and Other Creative Types Basket". I might even have a volunteer to set it up in the Ballroom. :awww: mumbled the Rafflemeister

The penpal basket thingee is what I wanted to suggest/ wrangle, while waiting on this last one to close. So, I AM A HAPPY CAMPER..:tango::dance1::danceparty::breakdance:

Katniss 06-09-2013 11:27 PM
Yay! Thanks for letting me, Deb0670, and Pixie join in the fun! :hk1:


Katniss~~(I need to subscribe to this thread!)

laruss 06-18-2013 02:50 PM
I have my paper ready, and I am hoping to be in the studio this week working on them. Exciting.

Don't forget to send me your return address when you send me your ATC project.

I mailed mine off to you this afternoon! I put in $10.00 (mine have embellishments) but forgot my return address. I will PM you with it but it should be on the shipping label as well.

Yay! Thanks for doing this and I am excited to see them all!


Katniss~~(also, mine are more on the 'craft' side than the 'art' side but I did use 2 mediums as I was fooling around with India inks....)

sis 06-18-2013 07:13 PM
Time to put down the crochet hook and get BUSY! I have the idea, I have the supplies, I just need to get down and do it! Thank you for motivating me, Katniss!

Oh Katniss, what a keener, now I really want to get in the studio. I look forward to seeing what you sent.

sis 06-19-2013 08:56 AM
Okay, picking up the hook again.....
 
..... because I've finished my art work for the ATC project! Time for me to go have a final :tea: and then head off to sleep! The cards will go in the mail in early July once I'm back in Canada! I can hardly wait to see everyone's project!

Deb

Tommi 06-19-2013 12:04 PM
Artists Cards galore and glorius
 
How awesome, and motivating to see folks so inspired. I am playing hooky from work, and what a great way to spend my day.

Here I come...:hangloose:. , tongue sticking out of right corner of mouth, right thumbs up, glue, paint, paper and stuff alllll over the patio table. :artist:

NOW, weather alert on TV. a red flag warning for gusty winds, firefighters on standby for LA and Ventura Counties....well, I am south of that so, better get busy before I get scattered today.

Thanks for this one.

laruss 06-20-2013 01:17 PM
I have my first medium on and will add the second today... hopefully.
I may actually be all done this week too.

Then the waiting... waiting... waiting... to see what everyone else did.

I can't wait, it is so exciting to be the wrangler.

Jennifer any word on when the last project is going out? I am excited about that one too. I know I was one of the people who pushed the deadline back so I can't really complain, but it is all very exciting to see what everyone does.

All so creative.

sis 06-20-2013 04:53 PM
I took my cards to work yesterday and welcomed co-workers to randomly choose one to look at. It was really awesome to see their responses. I'm actually thinking of making another box of cards to keep just for inspiration (I have words on the cards).

Deb

nycfem 06-20-2013 07:00 PM
Hi, all, I'm going to mail the projects this weekend because, well, the end date was in Feb and it's just time!

sorry, ahk, please mail your cards out to each person separately.

Oh, just to let you all know, I included a few art papers (just patterned papers) for those who might be interested in adding them to their craft supplies.

I am sure you will all love the secrets as much as I did :) !!!

nycfem 06-20-2013 07:02 PM
Neurotic, humble request: Please don't spray scent on projects because it can make every project smell like the scent and be a bit overpowering. Thanks :)

laruss 06-20-2013 10:09 PM
I am really glad everyone is enjoying the ATC's.

I completed step 2 on mine, one more step and mine will be done.

I love them so much I am thinking of doing more and framing them. I already do small watercolours about the size of an ATC and I mount them on a 5 x 7 mat. This might work for these too, I am going to try it.

candy_coated_bitch 06-20-2013 11:07 PM
Ok, you guys are getting me excited! I have my ATCs all cut out and ready and am pretty sure I decided on a theme...yet I can be fickle.

I think it's cool we will be getting so many cards so we can see so many different people's styles. :)

laruss 06-21-2013 11:10 AM
I'm done, I'm done, I'm done :pile:

This was a fun one. I love my little miniatures.

cara 06-21-2013 06:12 PM
I really do love ATCs, but I just couldn't commit the time to this project. I can't wait to see them all at the Reunion! :-)

:stillheart:

Gemme 06-21-2013 10:19 PM
Michael's did not have ATCs.

I know!

I, too, was aghast.

I have a plan, though.

candy_coated_bitch 06-22-2013 12:36 AM
There are good online places to get ATC supplies, don't know how you feel about that. artchix.com is AWESOME. I usually just cut mine out of 9 X 12 watercolor paper. Lemme know if suggestions would be welcome. :)

I am aghast. Ours has them (usually hanging because they are small), all our art stores have them as well, but if you can't find them you can cut them to size from any paper. Final size is 2-1/2" x 3-1/2".

I got mine at Hobby Lobby but truth is I ended up only using a few and cutting out my own from card stock and scrapbook paper. But as I said, mine are more "crafty" than "art" as it was a fun project to share with my 10 year old.

Katniss~~
I was going to use other cardstock, and I still might do that, but I finally found something that might work. A smidge smaller but if that doesn't work, I'll cut the stuff out. I have tons 'o normal-ish cardstock.

Katniss, I can't go into Hobby Lobby anymore. It's sad because they have such great stuff but they are stringently anti-gay and right wing, so I pass on them.

Wow! Well where have I been? I actually just Googled that and you are correct...and it gets worse as apparently..." An attorney for Oklahoma City-based Hobby Lobby says the company has found a way to delay providing insurance coverage for emergency contraceptives as required under the federal health care law.

Peter Dobelbower said in a statement Thursday that the company will shift the plan year for employee health insurance that will delay by several months the Jan. 1 effective date of the requirement."" (Huff Post) :seeingstars:

I guess in defense of my ignorance we don't have a H.L. where I live so it wasn't on my radar as anti-anything. I was out of town and saw the store and went in. I had no idea and thanks for sharing!

It's a true shame too, because they carry soooo many beautiful and lovely things.

There was a plaza in Austin that had a HL, a Chik fil A and a Christian bookstore.

I :twitch: every time I drove by it.

laruss 06-28-2013 09:42 PM
I want to apologize to Katniss and I hope it has not been a problem for anyone else, the address I gave everyone is a post office box, they do not accept UPS, only post.
Here in Canada we do not use UPS (courier) unless we need something delivered quickly and/or securely. If you are using UPS as opposed to USPS please let me know and I can give you another address. I do not normally give out my home address and my girlfriend would kill me if she knew I was, but just know if you show up on my door step my dogs will eat you. lol

Sorry again Katniss, hopefully it is not to late and can be rerouted.
